Larry,
I think that could happen just about anywhere you buy anything. All it takes
is an employee with a poor lack of judgement. I have the same story (except I
bought a Mopar o2 sensor from my local Dodge dealer). I'm bolting on the final
couple things on a fresh 2.5 build in a 87 Shelby lancer and open the o2 sensor
box from Mopar. Yep it was used! Was sort of perturbed as the customer was
waiting (helping on the motor swap) so the timing wasn't the best.
Probably some service tech diagnosing a driveability problem. Maybe some
customer trying to pull a fast one. This o2 sensor actually came from the Mopar
distribution center warehouse not the dealership warehouse? The parts people
looked at me like I was nuts, but they believed me as I buy plenty from them.
The parts manager said they have seen that before, but it is rare. I buy stuff
from Summit and Dodge all the time and and am rarely disappointed, but stuff
happens...
If I quit buying from everyone after one or two bad experiences, I wouldn't
have anyone left to purchase from :-) Custom cals and custom pistons is what
I've had bad luck with. I know what you mean though, some times you just have
enough from a supplier. You have to know when to throw in the towel to save
your sanity.

Maybe I need one of those!
I don't want to offend anybody, but I no longer deal with Summit Racing,
since they sent me the same "opened" package Carroll Shelby Alarm System,
after re-packaging it in new shrink-wrap. Color me "PIST". It had a
Toyota-specific extra piece that was unusable on my Shelby Dakota. Gawd
knows what was missing.
If they're going to charge you "brand new" prices, they should provide
"brand new" parts. Summit doesn't. Leastwise Summit's store in Nevada.
They still send me catalogs. I recycle them.
I couldn't find the Shelby alarm system anywhere else, so I bought a
generic system from Jeg's, which is sitting on my living-room floor, at this
time. It's made by the same people. Just doesn't have Carroll's name on
it.
That's my two cents!
Larry
